Actually we are trying to reduce this from happening by moving the highway information, not the highway=* tag to a relation to reduce the clutter and make things more efficient to parse. > Can the same trick be used generally? Yes, but you are better to use a relation to group ways into routes, rather than trying to cram everything into the same tags. > The Bicentennial National Trail is primarily a horse route. > Secondarily, it is a hiking route (as well as a mountain bike route). If you try and load too much info into the same tags it probably won't render, use a relation instead and it might, or you may need to nudge someone to get it to render but using a relation is more likely to render than trying to get complex tag parsing to occur. > Is "route=horse;hiking" valid syntax? Yes, but it's unlikely to render. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
